I wonder why the announcer hesitated on that one black and white ident. It sounded as if he was just making sure that they were showing the program in color, lol. My personal favorite is the one where the dude screws up and calls NBC "CBS," and then catches himself and by then it's past the point of no return because the ident is finishing up. Freakin' hilarious, man!

In all seriousness, can anyone confirm whether or not the logo at 3:24 is real? The channel appears to be abandoned so we aren't getting an answer from it anytime soon.
The NBC chimes is the scariest thing you'll ever hear during your lifetime when you are hearing on the radio, and on TV. This is right up there with the Screen Gems "S from Hell" logo.
Actually, it was the logo of NBC Films for the syndicated repeats of You Bet Your Life. When the show got transferred from WGN-TV to WFLD in the mid 70's, the logo was excised.
NBC had good reason to be gung-ho on color: NBC was owned by RCA, and the color system the FCC selected from the NTSC (National Television System Committee) was the RCA “dot sequential” system. So, NBC had a built-in (sort of) R&D department. Later on, NBC spent some money to come up with that two-part “N” logo. Too bad a university in Nebraska were already using that, having created it themselves! Reality is the weirdest thing, ever!
